Different habitat types exert particular challenges to ecological performance, ultimately having a strong influence on the evolution of morphology. Although it is well known that external morphology can evolve under the selective pressure o...
A comparative study of prey-handling behavior of the Chiwen keelback snake (Rhabdophis chiwen) feeding on earthworms and firefly larvae [0.03%]
赤链蛇（红链解毒蛇）捕食蚯蚓和萤火虫幼虫的行为比较研究

Masaya Fukuda et al.
Dietary specialists consume specific prey items, and they are often morphologically and behaviorally specialized to feed efficiently on those prey animals. Among specialist snakes, consumption of terrestrial arthropods is relatively rare. B...
Vocal characteristics of distress and reproductive vocalizations in North American wapiti [0.03%]

Variation in the vocal behavior of nonhuman vertebrates includes graded transitions and more dramatic changes. Wapiti males produce a reproductive bugle that has a fundamental frequency that surpasses 2,000 Hz with evidence of biphonation a...
Fading on the beach: pigmentation plasticity adjusts coloration to substrate type in coastal Western spadefoot toads [0.03%]
海岸西部铲足蛙的色素变化使其颜色随着栖息地类型而改变
Léa Lorrain-Soligon,Frédéric Robin,Vincent Lelong et al.
Léa Lorrain-Soligon et al.
Animal species exhibit a wide range of coloration and patterns, which are under strong selection and often linked to individual quality, influencing mate choice, recognition, signaling, and interspecific interactions such as predator avoida...

Spatial and trophic ecology of the estuarine Little Tern Sternula albifrons [0.03%]
小型燕尾鸥的生态位及其在河口生态系统中的作用
Lara R Cerveira,Jorge M Pereira,Sara N Veríssimo et al.
Lara R Cerveira et al.
Little Terns Sternula albifrons are estuarine birds extensively using increasingly urbanized coastal areas. Given the increased exposure of these ecosystems to anthropogenic activities, it is crucial to study the ecology of this species and...
How citizen science helps to expand the distribution and describe predictors related to a native land snail, while also introducing spatial biases [0.03%]
公民科学如何帮助扩展一种本土陆生螺类的分布并描述其相关预测因素，同时引入空间偏差
Rodrigo M Barahona-Segovia,Persy Gómez,Belén Céspedes-Parada et al.
Rodrigo M Barahona-Segovia et al.
Although mollusks represent Earth's second most diverse invertebrate group, their natural history and ecology are still scarcely known. The compilation of non-traditional data, such as those from citizen science, represents an alternative t...
Revaluation of the genetic diversity-area relationship by integrating nucleotide and haplotype diversity [0.03%]
整合核苷酸和单倍型多样性对遗传多样性和区域关系的重新评估
Ping Fan,Gang Song,Huijie Qiao et al.
Ping Fan et al.
Understanding the genetic diversity-area relationship (GAR) is essential for comprehending how species adapt to environmental changes, as genetic diversity is an indicator of a species' adaptive potential. Variation in environmental adaptat...
